Arrival and turnstiles
Public and staff parking, then ticket possession at the perimeter. VIP lanes need a higher role tier, not a second copy of the same barcode.
Studio
The ground still has gates after the ticket goes digital.
UK clubs are moving off paper. NFC wallets and rotating barcodes get someone to the turnstile. AffixIO Studio is the briefing for what happens next: parking, 18+, hospitality, crew doors and one-time spend, each as a yes or no, without parking the fan on a vendor disk.
Why the outer door is not the whole job
From 2026/27, Premier League clubs have to issue digital tickets. Plenty of those tickets now sit in a phone wallet and talk to a turnstile over NFC. Others still use hidden or rotating barcodes. The shared aim is matchday access that is harder to forward than a PDF.
A forwarded screenshot is only one failure. Parking bays, 18+ bars, hospitality lounges, loading docks and staff canteens each ask a narrower question. Age, role, seat section, a meal that can be spent once. The industry argument often turns to cameras. Studio takes the other fork: prove the entitlement, keep the person off the wire.
This page is a map of those gates. It is not a 3D walk-through, not facial recognition, and not the Premier League’s NFC mandate. Production prove and ML-DSA-65 attestation live on api.affix-io.com.
Gates on a matchday
Each scanner asks one question. The result names what passed and what blocked.
Concourse
An 18+ check for licensed areas, a ticket helpdesk, a tariff refresh. Age is a threshold for this request, not a reusable identity profile.
Seating and hospitality
A general admission section is a ticket. Premium seating and lounges add role. The door does not need the guest’s date of birth on a vendor stack.
Backstage
Crew corridors, loading bay and technical rooms. Artist and security clearances open more of the building than a seat ticket does.
Canteen and retail
A meal or merch entitlement can be spent once. A replay of that spend is a deny, the same shape as a second walk-in on a consumed door proof.
Operations rooms
Green room, stage side and a security operations view sit behind role plus a signed policy check. Telemetry can log zone and decision without names.
Presentment versus proof
Static ticket image
One barcode for the whole night. Easy to screenshot. Hard to revoke in the queue. The door has no spend lock on the underlying entitlement.
AffixIO door pass
A short-lived link or OTP presents the proof. Gate verify in consume mode spends the digest once. Ticket Pass is the public demo of that path with @affix-io/sdk-light.
Questions
What is AffixIO Studio?
A briefing on stadium and venue access control. It maps the gates a ground still has after tickets go digital: parking, turnstiles, 18+ checks, hospitality, crew doors and one-time spend.
Is this a 3D stadium tour?
No. There is no first-person arena on this page.
Does AffixIO store fan personal data?
The default verify path is designed not to retain personal data. The club or venue host keeps source records. AffixIO returns a binary eligibility result with signed evidence.
How does this relate to UK digital ticketing?
Premier League clubs must issue digital tickets from 2026/27. Many grounds use NFC wallet passes or rotating barcodes. Studio covers the policy questions those doors still ask after the ticket is digital.
Where is the live door demo?
Ticket Pass shows rotating QR presentment, one-scan consume and door OTP. Production prove runs on api.affix-io.com.
